February Fantasy

Take a Walk Sweater in the Gallery

It's a marshmallow world in the winter,
When the snow comes to cover the ground,
It's the time for play, it's a whipped cream day,
I wait for it all year round.
Those are marshmallow clouds being friendly,
In the arms of the evergreen trees,
And the sun is red like a pumpkin head,
It's shining so your nose won't freeze.
The world is your snowball, see how it grows,
That's how it goes, whenever it snows,
The world is your snowball just for a song,
Get out and roll it along.
It's a yum-yummy world made for sweethearts,
Take a walk with your favourite girl,
It's a sugar date, what if spring is late,
In winter, it's a marshmallow world. Click here to read more

Women in Winter

"Most of us really don’t have the choice to sit winter out. The fact is that not every bird gets to fly south. And I confess I wouldn’t want to: I love my morning walks in the winter, breathing the cool, crisp air, and I can’t imagine living in places without much seasonal variation. When the passing of the year doesn’t impress itself upon my senses, I am, in some profound sense, lost."
French Women for All Seasons by Mireille Guiliano p.192

Autumn Wrist Warmers

The other name for these wrist warmers is April.Andes. Atacama Wrist Warmers.
April is autumn in Chile (I lived there in 2013). And it can be quite chilly in Chile at that time!! So I had to knit something! As you can see, I made these cute wrist warmers. That helped a lot! The knit pattern: cables and double seed stitch. Crocheted edge. Plus the colours of the desert.... Click on any of the images to learn and see more

May and Unicorns

It was so much fun to knit this Unicorn Hat!
The hat itself was knit in the round on double pointed needles. Then I crocheted this beautiful purple horn and stitched it to the top centre of the hat. Then I made these two cute ears. Then the small roses. The last step was a colourful mane - each part of it was stitched to the hat. It was magic!! The first try was on a snowman on a wonderfully weird April day - it snowed! The hat was fitting very well.

The hat was made in 2021.
Amelia was 6,5, and Zoey just turned 3. Today 'Zoey the Unicorn' is 7.

February: Florida Tropical Shawl

The inspiration came from beautiful Florida - the sun, the sky, the flowers, and all the tropical colours.
So when I saw the Lang Yarns Tropical in
Knit or Knot Yarns
(Jupiter, Florida), I knew I could make something from it.

Yarn:
LANG Yarns TROPICAL
made in Italy
3 balls 50g each 165 m
It is soft , light and spun with breathable cotton (50%) and durable manufactured fibers -acrylic (50%).

The loose twist of Tropical keeps the yarn lightweight, while a fun, multi-color ply gives the yarn a cool, dimensional self-striping look.The soft stripes & beautiful drape make this yarn ideal for summer scarves, tees, ¾ sleeve tops, cardigans & modern ponchos.

Pattern:
In the Knit or Knot Yarns, I purchased the Marmel Shawl Pattern by Brian Smith and followed it except for Section Two which I made in a different lace motive.
